Welcome to another Episode of 'Adventures in Johnny's health' or 'How is Johnny doing today?'
According to the vet's clinical analysis and the Lab's pathologist (who looked at his labwork), not only is Johnny's anemia non-regenerative, but he should not be showing any signs of improvement. On the contrary, he should be dead. Basically what the results show is that Johnny was barely alive when I took him in and his body was doing NOTHING to help/stop/etc what was happening.
He has improved by leaps and bounds. He is still improving more each day. No muscle car purring yet (that is my 'we are out of the woods' sign) but he's now getting up off the ground. For the last week or so Johnny hasn't gotten any higher than his litter box. Last night he jumped up on the low rung of their cat tree AND this morning he came and joined me on the bed. *squees*
Anyway, last night in my joy of seeing him on his cat tree, I took some pictures. Since it was a darker corner, I decided to try using the flash on my camera phone. The results were amusing to say the least!
"You know, we are so glad to have Johnny back with us. But I'm a little concerned about the fact that he glows in the dark since that run in with the radiation"
"Uh oh! I don't think he likes having pictures taken of him. The hairs are standing up on my arms and it's getting rather warm in here. Why is there a bluish dot on my chest? Maybe we should just back away slowly?"
"Panic!!!!! Johnny just went Nuclear. OMG! OMG! OMG! We're all gonna die! OMG"
"Whew! We're safe. He is aparantly placated by treats. Good to know. I fear the day when we are out of treats. *shudders*"
Anyway, I do hope he continues to improve and get better. *hugs* to everyone for the kind thoughts and messages.
